THE NEW RUGER LCR


January 14, 2009  ::  Wilsonville, OR  -  Crimson Trace announced today the co-release of new Lasergrips for Ruger's new LCR light compact revolver, developed in parallel with the gun for public display at the 2009 SHOT Show in Orlando, FL.  The new groundbreaking revolver from Ruger is the first polymer-framed revolver ever released in the US market, and it says a lot about market acceptance of, and demand for, Crimson Trace's laser sights on compact personal defense firearms that Ruger would seek to launch their gun with Lasergrips equipped at the factory.

The new LG-411 Lasergrips feature the latest Crimson Trace has to offer.  They come with a rubber overmolded front activation pad, hard polymer side panels for easy holsterability, and a rubber overmolded backstrap with a special recoil-absorbing pocket similar to that has become very popular on previous models for revolvers.

  • Recoil-reducing backstrap pocket
  • Polymer side panels for snag-free holstering
  • Comfortable rubber overmolded front and back straps
  • Instinctive front activation
  • Master on / off switch
  • 4 hour battery life and up to 5 year shelf life

The Ruger LCR is due on store shelves March 1, 2009 (EXPECT IT LATER) with either a Crimson Trace equipped model or without.  Customers purchasing the gun without will be able to purchase Lasergrips direct from Crimson Trace dealers or from the Crimson Trace website shortly after that date.  First ones will be shipped to Ruger to go on the LCR's.  Then they will start shipping the Lasergrips to be sold separately.


We anticipate receiving  these around  May/June 2009.

BERSA THUNDER LASERGRIPS - AHEAD OF THE .380 CURVE


Long before the recent .380 ACP craze took off at the 2008 SHOT Show, the Bersa Thunder gave the little caliber that could, real credibility among serious personal defense minds.  The Bersa Thunder serves as a reliable, cost effective compact carry gun, and is just the kind of weapon to pair with the decisive benefits of a set of Lasergrips.

Fitting Bersa Thunder .380 and Bersa Firestorm .380 series pistols, these Lasergrips provide instinctive activation and reliability you can count on.

 

RELIABLE CARRY IN A COMPACT PACKAGE

The LG-442 for the venerable Bersa Thunder and Firestorm .380 series is designed to maximize your secure grip on the pistol, while offering fully instinctive activation with a rubber overmolded front pressure switch.  When you grip the gun, the laser activates without a second thought.  Hard polymer side grip panels with deep checkering allow for a smooth snag-free draw, and a positive grip on these small pistols.

Modular Vertical Foregrip: Light and Laser

White light equipment for AR-15 and other picatinny rail-equipped rifles has for years involved clamping a rather large flashlight to the rails, and attaching an activation pad to the foregrip via an external wire. Enter the MVF-515 Modular Vertical Foregrip, with its compact and rugged design and the Crimson Trace total instinctive activation system which allows the shooter to activate all combinations of light & laser, instinctively, while maintaining their natural shooting grip. And there are no external wires or loosely attached activation pads.  Get ready to order yours.

We anticipate receiving these around April or May 2009.

Headed to the Gun Show

We are flying down to the dealers gun show this weekend and selecting our products to stock for the next year.  As your know, our primary product is Crimson Trace Lasergrips.  We also sell an add on product, the Laser Chase Pet Toy, which is a laser pointer that pets just love to chase around.  

At the show we will also be looking for a new product to offer.  As with our current line though, it is going to have to be a top notch product and be at the right price.  So, check back with us and see what new and exciting product(s) we may come up with.

LG-436 Glock 19/26/36

Here is our first image of the new Crimson Trace Laserguard for the Glock.  

This one fits the Glock 19/26/36 (23,25,27,28,33,32,38,39).   I've heard so many times, why don't they make a laser for my sub-compact 45.  Well here it is, and it fits more.

The Laserguard for the Glock is designed to fit in the same manner as those made for the small KelTecs, Ruger LCP, and polymer Kahrs.  It fits on and in front of the trigger guard.  That's why they call it a Laserguard instead of a Lasergrip.

It makes for a great design with a pleasing appearance and minimal holster interference.  You get the same Crimson Trace quality as with the Lasergrips.  With this Laserguard you also get a master on/off switch - just press the logo and you can practice with the laser on or off.
